Yeah! Did that once, many years back. took a couple weeks. Used a ripper program that went out on the net and got all the metadata, saved to a HD (now on the third one). Put the CDs in Logic cases (no-wear), recycled the jewelboxes.
Over time, started to drop album folders into VLC, save the playlists, at ur fingertips.
I’d say that a vacant home - any place (lots of them) where the homeless are dying in the streets of hypothermia - is owned by a garbage human.
IMO owning an unoccupied house thats off-market, or prohibitively-priced is probably a gambling chip.
IF there are ANY families in the same county that are homeless, it should begin being taxed as a gambling-chip. Sell-it very soon or it may used for a free shelter for however it remains unoccupied by the owner.
An apartment-building owner WHO LIVES IN the building year-around might be in accord. (My own GG-ma ran a boarding-home for income after her husband died.)
Needs discussion. I’m more concerned for kids -never being able- to buy a home. “Owner-built”, no problem.
It’s my opinion that housing is so basic a need that no house should be allowed to use for a gambling chip.
The ‘housing market’ needs to be broken in favor of individual ownership. (For many, speculation has driven ownership out of reach.)
Only individuals may purchase individual homes, and must agree to occupy them as their primary and only residences until they sell and vacate them. (Live-in landlords included, e.g. boarders.)
As part of the deal, they must first find another individual buyer (under the same terms) for their present home.
(Futher stipluations needed, but none that permit violation of the above principle. )
Dinty Moore still comes in cans … and is better than ever (esp. compared to most of today’s canned “food”.
Strange to see people blaming their fellow citizens, when it was a certain beloved King that started off his reign by hugely cutting the tax-rate of corporations, leaving them with the ‘trickle-down’.
Somehow rulers manage to keep the people divided by keeping them blaming each other rather the root-cause.
Good point. Messages sent, images taken, and ‘things happen’ in cars.
And a LOT risky
Oh oh. I’ve been barely able to resist so far, but this is getting really hard to.
This is the ongoing story of Microsoft since it started.
